    Discord or Guilded for Commercial Use

    Yeah, I gotta say, Discord is far better than the Skype crap or WebEx we use at work, that is for sure. Of course, half the problem are the other people on the phone conference...if you haven't seen this before, it is way to close to the truth than it should be: View...

    The estimates (really, "guesstimates") are that about 20% of the COVID-19 patients experience severe symptoms, and then about 3% (of the total, so we are talking maybe 16% to 18% of the 20%) need the ventilation. But yeah, we need better tracking and follow-up to know exactly. Regarding...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    I didn't bother watching the video...what I can say from my line of work is that while it sucks to have to be in a position to need mechanical ventilation, you absolutely can get back to living a normal life afterwards. Yeah, some people can experience complications, but a lot depends on how you...

    Very interesting interview with a NY surgeon from a hospital in Westchester (hour North of NCY) from yesterday, 4/5, detailing her current experience treating COVID-19 patients: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fdGS_WrYQY

    It as an amalgam of all states, *based on the current data **so far** *, so in a nutshell...there is a joke about forecasting, something about "predicting what you don't know today and then explaining why you were wrong tomorrow," but there are somewhat standard methods. And making decisions...

    For those wanting to make a face mask, CNN has some instructions: https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/04/health/how-to-make-your-own-mask-wellness-trnd/index.html However, the real bonus is at the bottom, they have a link to a NASA manual on how to use a sewing machine! This is a great manual, by my...

    The interesting bit about watching the Australian cases is that it appears that the virus just won't "disappear" in the summer months. It appears that you instituted social distancing measures nationally on March 21st, so maybe this is what is having an impact?

    Looks like CIGs DRAKE ship designs were stolen!

    The redditor who posted this forgot to mention they had to haul this all on their backs after walking to school uphill both ways, in a snowstorm, wearing barbwire on their feet so they didn't slide down the mountain. Kids today don't know how good they have it! lol

    In line with that, in addition to staying home to avoid the virus, don't do anything stupid or risky...if you have to go to a hospital, you are probably going to come back home with something worse. And if you flatline at a hospital, or arrive at a hospital DOA, they likely aren't going to do...

    [Mercury Star Runner Intensifies]

    I'm not a huge fan of the asymmetrical design, but the interior seems like the perfect design for a small/medium size ship. I'm looking forward to it!

    There may still be value in making and wearing masks. Yes, the actual SARS-CoV-2 virus particle thingee is nanometers in diameter, BUT, it is most likely transmitted through droplets of snot, spit, whatever, and those are going to be larger and potentially filtered out by cloth or whatever. If...
